On Monday, we all happily skipped into school because we were all off to Allesley Park for a landscape art trip and mini picnic. However, much to our disappointment, it was raining cats and dogs! Unfortunately, the event has been postponed to after the half term holidays due to the expected thunderstorms and auditions for our amazing play. We can’t wait until we actually get to go!
Instead, Mrs Hartwell and Mrs Elkins hosted a challenging competition involving art straws, tape, scissors and a half-full water bottle. It was very tricky and the only group to get theirs to hold the bottle was Ciara, Orla J and Jude. Well done to everyone who took part. We then did a full read through of the script for our play – Porridge! Everyone read a selected part and all did incredibly well. In the afternoon we learned about electrical circuits and played circuit symbol bingo.
The next day(Tuesday) we all became electricians when we made our own circuits in groups and we all did extremely well: some of us could start our own electrical business when we are older! In music, everyone sang their hearts out as we practised all of the songs for Porridge; some of us even had the bravery to sing a solo in front of the class! After that, we all headed down to the P.E hall in order to record our very own music videos with Miss Kelleher. Popular songs and styles chosen were: When The Beat Drops Out, Shake It Off and Uptown Funk; Bollywood, Acro and Jazz. You can view the mind blowing videos below.

Finally the day came that we had all been waiting for – AUDITION DAY!
On Thursday we all came into school ready to show the judges (Mrs Hartwell, Mrs Elkins, Mr Cooke and Mrs Ellis) what we had in store for them. We all really enjoyed our auditions and some of us even stood in front of Year 6, the judges AND Year 5 to audition for a solo. After a quick breath of fresh air for the judges to deliberate, we found out who we had in the play! It was very exciting and we couldn’t wait to get highlighting and discussing with our ‘play family’ our roles!
It certainly was a fantastic week to end an amazing half term. We can’t believe we only have one more left to go – just 7 weeks left at All Souls!
We’re ready to make them really good ones to remember!
